Installation type A is recommended when the total consumption corresponds to the throughput rate of the
compressor.

Installation type B is recommended when the air consumption constantly varies, with peak values which considerably
exceed the throughput rate of the compressor. The storage capacity of the tank must be dimensioned in such a way
that a possible short-term high air demand (peak air consumption) can be compensated.

Do not obstruct the ventilation grille (not even partially).


Prevent any recirculation of the outgoing cooling air.
Protect the dryer against draughts.

Note!
Contaminated intake air!
In the event that the intake air is strongly contaminated (ISO 8573.1 class 3.-3 or poorer quality), we recommend

The DRYPOINT RS 2300 HP45 has a planned nominal capacity of 2280 m³/h. The highest achievable
air mass under the following operating conditions is:
Air inlet pressure = 35 bar(g)  Factor (F1) = 0.94
Ambient temperature = 35°C  Factor (F2) = 0.90
Air inlet temperature = 45°C  Factor (F3) = 0.69
Pressure dew point = 10°C  Factor (F4) = 1.37

Every function parameter corresponds to a numerical factor which, multiplied by the planned nominal capacity,
determines the following:
Actual air throughput = 2280 x 0.94 x 0.90 x 0.69 x 1.37 = 1823 m³/h

1823 m³/h is the maximum air mass of the dryer under the aforementioned operating conditions.

Selection of the best suitable model in accordance with the operating conditions:

Air throughput acc. to planning = Required air throughput


factor (F1) x factor (F2) x factor (F3) x factor (F4)
Example:

The following operating parameters are known:


Required air mass = 1100 m3/h
Air inlet pressure = 35 bar(g)  Factor (F1) = 0.94
Ambient temperature = 35°C  Factor (F2) = 0.90
Air inlet temperature = 45°C  Factor (F3) = 0.69
Pressure dew point = 10°C  Factor (F4) = 1.37

To find out the correct dryer version, the required air mass must be divided by the correction factors of the
parameters indicated above:
16 DRYPOINT® RS 1300-6000 HP45
Installation

Air throughput acc. to planning= 1100 = 1375 m³/h


0.94 x 0.90 x 0.69 x 1.37
The suitable model for these requirements is DRYPOINT RS 1600 HP45 (with a specif. nominal capacity of 1620
m³/h).
8.4 Connection to the compressed-air system
Danger!
Compressed air!
All works must only be carried out by qualified skilled personnel.
Never work on compressed-air systems which are under pressure.
The operator or the user must ensure that the dryer is never operated with a pressure exceeding the
maximum pressure value indicated on the name plate.
Exceeding the maximum operating pressure can be dangerous for the operator but also for the device.

The air temperature and the air flow at the inlet of the dryer must lie within the limit values indicated on the name plate.
The connecting lines must be free from dust, iron rust, shards and other contaminations and correspond to the flow
rate of the dryer. Should air with a very high temperature be treated, the installation of an aftercooler may be
necessary. For the implementation of maintenance works, the installation of a bypass system is recommended.

Note!
Pulsation and vibrations!
Pulsations and vibrations must be eliminated from the compressed air and IN/OUT piping to avoid
possible fatigue failure.
Do not use the dryer to treat air containing corrosive substances for copper and its alloys..

CAUTION!
During the piping of the dryer, the inlet and outlet connections need to be supported as is shown in the
illustration.
Non-observance will cause damage.

Note!
Contaminated intake air!
In the event that the intake air is strongly contaminated (ISO 8573.1 class 3.-3) or poorer quality, we
recommend the additional installation of a prefilter (e.g. CLEARPOINT HP50S040), to avoid clogging of
===== Ende der Stüc kliste =====
the heat exchanger.

11.2 Functional description


Operating principle – All dryer models described in this manual function according to the same principle. The hot
and moisture-loaded air is led into an air/air heat exchanger. Afterwards, the air flows through an evaporator, which
is also known as an air/refrigerant heat exchanger. The air temperature is reduced to approximately 2°C, so that
water vapour condenses to liquid. The continuously accumulating condensate is collected in the separator to be
discharged via the condensate drain. Subsequently, the cold and dry air is led through the air/air heat exchanger, so
that it is reheated to up to 8°C below the inlet temperature when leaving the dryer.

Refrigeration cycle – The refrigerant is conducted through the compressor and reaches a condenser under high
pressure. There, cooling-down takes place, making the refrigerant condense to a liquid state which is under high
pressure. The liquid is pressed through a capillary tube where the resulting pressure drop ensures that the refrigerant
evaporates at a defined temperature. The liquid refrigerant which is under low pressure is led into the heat
exchanger, where it expands. The cold resulting from the expansion serves to cool down the compressed air
in the heat exchanger. During this process, the refrigerant evaporates. The low-pressure gas is resupplied to
the compressor, where it is compressed again. It then re-enters the cycle. In phases of a reduced
compressed-air load, the excess refrigerant is resupplied automatically to the compressor via the hot gas
bypass valve.

Technical description

11.5 Refrigerating compressor


The employed refrigerating compressors are constructed by leading manufacturers. The hermetically sealed
construction is absolutely gastight. The integrated safeguard protects the compressor against overheating and excess
current. The protection is automatically reset as soon as the nominal conditions are reached again.

11.6 Condenser (air-cooled)


The condenser is the component in which the gas coming from the compressor is cooled down, condensed and
liquefied. Under no circumstances must the temperature of the ambient air exceed the nominal values. It is also
important that the condenser unit is kept free from dust and other impurities.

11.7 Condenser (water-cooled)


The condenser is the component in which the gas coming from the compressor is cooled-down, condensed and
liquefied.
The water inlet temperature must not exceed the nominal values. Likewise, a correct flow must be ensured. The water
entering the condenser must be free from impurities.

11.8 Cooling-water regulating valve


The cooling-water controller serves to keep the condensation pressure or the condensation temperature constant
during water cooling. When the dryer is switched off, the valve automatically blocks the cooling-water flow.
The condenser water regulating valve is an operating control device.
The closure of the water circuit from the pressure condenser water regulating valve cannot be used as a
safety closure during service operations on the system.
ADJUSTMENT
The condenser water regulating valve is adjusted during the testing phase to a pre-set value that covers 90%
of the applications. However, sometimes the extreme operating conditions of the dryer may require a more
accurate calibration.
During start-up, a qualified technician should check the condensing pressure/temperature and if necessary
adjust the valve by using the screws on the valve itself.
To increase the condensing temperature, turn the adjusting screws counter-clockwise; to lower it turn the
screws clock-wise.
Water valve setting : R407C pressure 16 barg (± 0.5 bar)

11.9 Filter dryer


Despite controlled vacuuming, traces of moisture can accumulate in the refrigeration cycle. The filter dryer serves to
absorb this moisture and to bond it.

11.10 Capillary tube


The capillary tube is a copper tube with a reduced diameter which is located between the condenser and the
evaporator, serving as a restrictor to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant. The pressure reduction serves to reach an
optimum temperature inside of the evaporator. The lower the outlet pressure at the capillary tube, the lower the
evaporation temperature.
The length and the inner diameter of the capillary tube are exactly dimensioned to ensure the performance of the
dryer. Settings or maintenance works are not required.

11.11 Thermostatic expansion valve - TEX


The purpose of this valve is to regulate the refrigerant flow across the dryer relative to the heat load. It’s operation is to
maintain a constant condition in the evaporator, regardless of load variations, to provide the correct dew point and
prevent liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor.

30 DRYPOINT® RS 1300-6000 HP45


Technical description

11.12 Air-to-air heat exchanger


The purpose of this exchanger is to drop the heat of the incoming compressed air onto the outgoing cold air. The
benefits of this solution are essentially two: the incoming air is already partially cooled so the refrigerating circuit can
be sized as to assure a limited thermal heat, with a 40÷50% energy saving. Secondly no cold air is allowed into the
compressed air line, thus preventing the system’s pipes sweating.

DRYPOINT® RS 1300-6000 HP45 31


Technical description

11.13 Air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger


Also called evaporator. The liquid formed in the condenser is evaporated in this part of the circuit. In the evaporation
phase the refrigerant tends to absorb the heat from the compressed air present in the other side of the exchanger.
Refrigerant and air are in counter flow, thus contributing to limit pressure drop and to provide efficient thermal
exchange.

11.14 Condensate separator


The cold air exiting the evaporator goes through the hi-efficiency condensate separator featuring a stainless steel
mesh. As the condensate transported by the air gets in contact with the mesh net it is separated and expelled by
means of the draining device. The resulting cold and dry air is then conveyed into the air-to-air heat exchanger.
The mesh type mist separator offers the benefit to be highly efficient even with variable flow rates.

11.15 Hot-gas bypass valve


At partial load, the valve directly returns a part of the hot gas to the suction line of the refrigerating compressor. The
evaporation temperature and the evaporation pressure remain constant.
ADJUSTMENT
The hot gas by-pass valve is adjusted during the manufacturing testing phase. As a rule no adjustment is
required; anyway if it is necessary the operation must be carried out by an experienced refrigerating
engineer.
WARNING
the use of ¼” Schrader service valves must be justified by a real malfunction of the refrigerating system.
Each time a pressure gauge is connected, a part of refrigerant is exhausted.
Without compressed air flow through the dryer, rotate the adjusting screw (position A on the drawing)
until the following value is reached:
Hot gas setting : R407C pressure 4.5 barg (+0.1 / -0 bar) (RS 1300-2300)

Technical description

11.16 Refrigerant pressure switches LPS – HPS


To ensure the operational reliability and the protection of the dryer, a series of pressure switches are installed in the
gas cycle.

LPS : Low-pressure appliance on the suction side of the compressor, which is triggered when the pressure dros
below the predetermined value. The values are reset automatically as soon as the nominal conditions are re-
established.

Calibrated pressure : R 407 C Stop 1.7 barg - Restart 2.7 barg


HPS : The high-pressure appliance on the discharge side of the compressor is activated when the pressure exceeds
the predetermined value. The values are not reset automatically when the nominal conditions are re-
established. Reset takes place manually via a button on the appliance.

Calibrated pressure : R 407 C Stop 30 barg - Manual reset (P<23 bar)

11.17 Compressor crankcase heater


During a longer downtime, the oil can intermix with the refrigerant. Therefore, "hydraulic shocks" may occur during the
start-up of the compressor.
To prevent this, a heating resistor was installed in the housing of the compressor which maintains a corresponding oil
temperature when the control panel is switched on and the compressor is idle.

Note!
The heating resistor needs to be switched on at least two hours prior to the start-up of the refrigerant
compressor.

11.19 Electronically level-controlled BEKOMAT condensate drain


The electronically level-controlled BEKOMAT condensate drain boasts a special condensate management which
ensures that condensate is discharged safely and without an unnecessary loss of compressed air. This drain has a
condensate collection container in which a capacitive sensor continuously monitors the liquid level. As soon as the
switching level is reached, the capacitive sensor transmits a signal to the electronic control and a membrane solenoid
valve opens to discharge the condensate. The BEKOMAT closes before compressed air emerges.

Note!

These BEKOMAT condensate drains were designed in particular for the operation in a DRYPOINT RS
HP45 refrigeration dryer. The installation in other compressed-air processing systems or the replacement
with another drain brand can lead to malfunction. The maximum operating pressure (see name plate)
must not be exceeded!

Ensure that the upstream valve is open when the dryer starts operation.

To obtain detailed information regarding drain functions, troubleshooting, maintenance and


spare parts, please read the installation and operating instructions of the BEKOMAT condensate
drain.
